THE FULL COURT OF THE FAMILY COURT OF AUSTRALIA AT CANBERRA

Appeal Number: EA 78  of 2009
File Number: CAC  114  of 2009

Ms Mayne

Appellant

And

Mr Mayne

Respondent

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

  1. In the submissions filed on behalf of the wife on 6 February 2012, particularly in the first paragraph, it is complained that “the respondent has sought to contend matters which were not the subject of the appeal, nor were they dealt with on appeal”. In the sixth paragraph of those submissions, it is said that “The respondent’s submissions ought be rejected. If the respondent’s submissions are to be considered, natural justice would dictate that leave ought be granted to the appellant to be heard further.”

  2. In our view, it would be appropriate to allow the appellant to file further submissions. 

I certify that the preceding two (2) paragraphs are a true copy of the reasons for judgment of the Honourable Full Court (Faulks DCJ, May and Strickland JJ) delivered on 27 April 2012.
